Revenge Bedtime Procrastination with Dan Osman

In this episode, Kat speaks with Dan who shares his number one positive habit. He talks to Kat all about the importance of sleep hygiene and the routines he has created to ensure he gets the best quality sleep possible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Sleep is something Dan has previously undervalued, particularly in his early 20s.
• It's important to understand that rest isn’t something you have to earn.
• Many of us can’t control the length of sleep we get due to other commitments such as caring for young children, but what we can control is sleep quality.
• Blackout blinds, a sleep mask and a bedtime are three key rituals that Dan sticks to in order to maintain good sleep hygiene.
• One of the best things you can do for your mental health is to have a consistent bedtime and wake up time.
• Sleep procrastination can be something that creeps in for many, particularly for parents and anyone with a busy lifestyle. Dan encourages everyone to embrace the joy of missing out and value your sleep quality more than something like a TV show.
• Being aware of your time and how you spend it is key to creating any positive habit or routine.

ABOUT THE HOST

Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. 

She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.
